Welcome back to Grove Street Elementary School! I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Ms. Williams and I am honored to be your child’s 5th-grade ELA teacher. I earned a BA in Elementary Education and a MA in Administration and Supervision at Kean University. Within my 27 years of teaching, I have worked with a variety of students including Special Education and English language learners.
I am looking forward to working with you and your child in reaching his or her fullest potential during this 2025-2026 academic year. We will have many wonderful experiences and opportunities to learn and grow in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Every day your child will have the opportunity to learn through a variety of activities. I hope your child will enjoy all of these activities and will be eager to share his or her experiences with you at the end of each school day!
I believe that communication is the key to a great parent-teacher relationship. I encourage you to contact me if you have any questions, ideas, or concerns. You can email me at [email protected]. Please know that I am using ClassDojo to connect home and school as well. This platform will be used to keep you abreast of homework assignments as well. For individual concerns, I will contact you directly by phone. Again, please do not hesitate to talk with me if you have any questions or concerns, for I am here.
I look forward to a year of fun and learning with your child! Together we can make this a wonderful, positive experience.
Sincerely,
Ms. Williams
